Foodie Friday- Sweet Chicken Marinade

I am very addicted to Pinterest. I have no idea what I did before it was invented! I love all the inspiration it provides for arts & crafts, sweet treats, and food. All these wonderful ideas all in one place! It's so fabulous.

One of my favorite things to pin is food. I am a rather picky eater but I like to try new things so being able to find recipes for just about anything all in one spot is pretty awesome for me. Most of the things I try these days are recipes I have found via Pinterest and this one is no exception. It's a super simple marinade for chicken that has the perfect amount of sweet and a tiny bit of tart.

I whipped this up before work then grilled the chicken up for dinner. This is all I had to take a picture of (and even this was eaten) since it was liked by all. I was actually disappointed that we polished all the chicken off since I wanted some to put in a salad the next day. This one will go into my dinner rotation for sure and next time I am going to make quite a bit more!

Stenciled Tee's

I made some stenciled Tee's in the past week for swaps and birthday gifts. In the Ongoing Wish Swap I made a claim for two kids tee's. This Dino-Mite tee was made by cutting the stencil with my Silhouette Cameo. I suppose using the Cameo to cut the stencils is kind of cheating... but they turn out so much nicer than my hand cut ones!

I also made two shirts with hand cut stencils. This Creeper shirt was made as a birthday present for my Minecraft obsessed son. He of course loved it and it took a total of 10 minutes for me to cut the stencil and paint it.

I also made this robot tee with a hand cut stencil. I haven't figured out how to make "islands" with the Cameo for stencils and there were teeny pieces that would have been hard for me to hand place in the right spots so I used my Exacto Knife to cut him out.

It seems like it's been quite sometime since I have stenciled anything and I forgot how easy it is to make a handmade shirt. I have ideas swirling for some fun custom Valentines Day shirts for the kids.
